Your donation might help people feel less isolated and give people a safe place to be met where they are in their life journey.
Here’s a current example: as of mid October 2026, there is an acquaintance I know that has Medi-Cal insurance low income, has a small business that she can’t afford to not have her phone available to her in a treatment facility nor is able to pay all her bills and rent in advance before a 30 day in-patient rehab. She desperately wants in-patient and medically requires a physician oversight for detox. The system seems broken for her in this regard as she will lose her apartment and future income if she were to go into treatment today. This is exactly the kind of thing Sober Ocean general fund is for. The healthcare system doesn’t have answers for this scenario.

Grassroots supported effort is far more affordable than the current state of our healthcare system and costs.

If you can’t donate now maybe later is fine. Or not. Join a meeting if you can.
Frequently Asked Questions - Donations-
Not yet. We will see how many people join our meetings over the first three to four months and go from there. If people are getting value out of what we are doing we have a pathway to convert to non-profit, yes. There is significant costs to going non-profit and so far this entirely self funded from personal savings.
(If we file within 27 months, the IRS can grant our tax-exempt status retroactively to the date of formation (roughly spring of 2026). If that happens, any donations would become deductible, even those donations made in July 2026 for example)

Mainly all the subscription services that are required - Zoom, website, trademark filing, fees, etc. Beyond those costs we will set aside funding for scholarships that people or family members or friends can apply for quickly and easily for treatment, sober living housing rent or childcare.
For direct ‘scholarship’ type of solution, the general fund will be used for someone’s rent or childcare or pet care or bills if they are able to get into treatment or sober living housing. These individuals or their family members are reaching out to us at Sober Ocean seeing how to cover these other financial blockers.
